Sorry, I already returned the testing machine and it wasn't quality
benchmarking, so I haven't kept the results ...

I used ebizzy and dbench, because ebizzy had large difference between
PLE on/off and dbench minimal (without overcommit), so one was looking
for improvements while the other was checking regressions.
(And they are easy to set up.)

From what I remember, this patch had roughly 5x better performance with
ebizzy on 60 VCPU guests and no obvious difference for dbench.
(And improvement under overcommit was visible for both.)

There was a significant reduction in %sys, which never raised much above
30%, as oposed to original 90%+.
